Communications Minister Sam George has justified the dismissal of about 100 workers at Ghana Post Limited, citing irregularities in their recruitment process.
According to him, the affected employees were hired after the December 7, 2024, election without following due process.
“As the head of the ministry, I cannot work with staff members whose employment was marred by irregularities,” he stated.
He explained that the ministry had 3,117 staff across its agencies, out of which 600 were recruited post-election, making it necessary to rationalize the workforce.
“Today, I have authorized the termination of a few more at Ghana Post—almost 100 that were recruited after the election,” he told journalists.
The Minister argued that the irregular recruitment had caused inefficiencies within the department, stressing that his priority is to streamline operations.
“I’m on a mission to clean up the ministry to ensure it is lean, efficient, and effective in carrying out its duties,” he added.
This move adds to the series of post-election job appointments that have been revoked due to procedural lapses.
